To The Joker, Senator Pleasury, Two-Face, and anybody else who may be interested, I thought that I would let you know that I will be posting the 3 unused Two-Face scripts as part of next week's entry in my 1966 Batman project.

Has anyone been reading the new comic book based on the show? I picked up the second issue yesterday and it was a ton of fun. The artist on this issue was Ty Templeton who used to draw the comic book series based off BTAS back in the day.

His Penguin was the spitting image of Burgess Meredith:

And Mr. Freeze was styled after Otto Preminger's

There was lots of other classic 60's show tropes in there, including the Batboat and Penguin's sub from the spin off movie:

I have. Been reading it digitally since it started in that format and I'm now buying the print version when it hits the comic store shelves. I'm absolutely loving it. It really could've easily been a disingenuous cash grab but you can tell a lot of love and care is put in both the writing and the art. The amount of attention put to even the most nuanced details is amazing.
